About

We are a community of technical professionals, creatives, and enthusiasts working to build a shared workspace to enrich our city through meaningful educational and social projects.  Here are some of the services we can offer to entrepreneurs in Indiana: Online Community Our online community is the heart of our organization. We use a social program called Slack to run our organization and create deeper friendships with each other.  Currently we have over 170 members, many with technical skills that can assist entrepreneurs. Conversations are organized by topics called \”channels.\” There are channels for various technical topics and many other of our members\’ varied interests. Entrepreneurs can use our community to identify contractors or potential partners to assist them with prototypes, learn about technologies for their business, and network with potential customers in the local tech community. In Person Meetups Our monthly social gatherings are for tech-curious people, including entrepreneurs. Most meetings include a presentation about a topic in technology. All meetings are social and fun! We\’ve explored cryptocurrency, web-development, IT security, business plan creation, and more. Collaborative Workspace Pardon our mess…this is a work in progress!  We\’re currently fundraising and scouting locations for a collaborative makerspace, where entrepreneurs can work alongside other creatives and professionals to make their products a reality.
